Description:

My comment is on the approach: once you leave the Valley trail at the 3rd footbridge just stay on the trail through the meadow - ignore the guidebook description telling you to cut for the trees on the E (right) side of the meadow. Just follow the trail and you'll end up in Stewart Draw. Once on the ridge, staying as close as possible to the crest affords the most interesting climbing. The most difficult part is a step about 200 to 300 feet below the summit.
